Separate Trading of Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants
On August 3, 2026, Freedom Metals Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) announced that, commencing on August 4, 2026, the holders of the units issued in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Units”), each consisting of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, may elect to separately trade the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Warrants included in the Units. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade. The Class A Ordinary Shares and the Warrants are expected to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “FDMM” and “FDMMW,” respectively. Units not separated will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “FDMMU.” Holders of Units will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the Units into Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants.
